Varallo Brothers Bakery

Message: Stopped in while waiting for a bagel across the street and so glad I took the time to visit this bakery. Picked up a few sweet treats and man it was good.

Message: So glad I found this gem. It is now the only place in the state I will get my biscotti and espresso. Wonderful atmosphere, great confections and an amazing staff.

Message: I stopped here on a whim to pick up some treats for after dinner, and it did not disappoint! So many cookies and pastries to choose from! The zeppole was delicious and the banana cannoli was tasty. The amaretti and rum ball cookies are so good too! I look forward to trying their gelato and coffee at some point. Termini was always my go to place but I am happy to have found another fantastic neighborhood bakery!

Message: Italian bakery with delicious cakes, cookies, pastries, gelato and coffee. Without a doubt, some of my favorite desserts can be found at Varallo's bakery. Their ricotta cannolis, their apple fritters, their cheesecake, their sfogliatella, and their chocolate ring cake are all so very good. That was just a short list of my favorites. There are so many more desserts to choose from. They also have pizza and the best croissants. Rosa and family are the nicest, warmest people. This is definitely a bakery you will want to visit. I had to add this. Today, I had the best zeppole. It's like a giant cream puff and it is filled with ricotta cheese filling or custard. Of course, I chose the ricotta cheese filled because that's my favorite. I would highly recommend either one because it is seasonal and so very good. 6/8.. picked up a chocolate fudge cake for my brother's birthday.. rich, decadent, delicious!

Message: Stopped by this place out of no where from noticing their sign of having the best cannolis and definitely did not disappoint! The prices are a little higher but definitely worth it for the quality. They have a decent amount of various cannoli flavors and a bunch of other great sweets and pastries. I also got slices of carrot cake and tiramisu which are some of my favorite. The staff are friendly and you can feel the history when you walk into their home.

Message: While walking around I desperately wanted coffee and was intrigued when I saw Varallo’s sign saying it has the best cannoli in South Philly so I decided to stop in. I ordered a cappuccino which was outstanding. The foam was so fluffy and the espresso packed strong flavor. It was by far one of the best cappuccinos I have ever had. While I was there I decided to try the regular cannoli which turned out to be a great decision. The cannoli shell is so fresh and crisp and the cream is a beautiful consistency. The chocolate pieces add just the right hint of chocolate and sweetness. The cannoli was a wonderful treat! The staff working there were very sweet. A great place and one I will definitely return to soon.

Message: We stopped by Sunday for Ricotta Cake and it was outstanding. Someone complained that it was burnt-not so! The top was golden brown and carmelized, exactly as it should be. The Easter Bread was good too (mine is better :). The staff was friendly and accomodating. Can;t ask for more during a pandemic or anytime!
